(b) The foregoing covenants shall not be deemed to prohibit Employee from acquiring as an investment not more than two percent (2%) of the capital stock of a competing business, whose stock is traded on a national securities exchange or through the automated quotation system of a registered securities association.
(c) It is further agreed that, in the event that Employee shall cease to be employed by the Company and enters into a business or pursues other activities that, on the date of termination of Employee's employment, are not in competition with the Company, Employee shall not be chargeable with a violation of this Section 7 if the Company subsequently enters the same (or a similar) competitive business or activity or commences competitive operations within 50 miles of the Employee's new business or activities.

Limitation on Use of Information The Fund agrees neither to use the information received from the Intermediary for any purpose other than to comply with SEC Rule 22c-2 and other applicable laws, rules and regulations, nor to share the information with anyone other than its employees who legitimately need access to it. Neither the Fund nor any of its affiliates or subsidiaries may use any information provided pursuant to this Agreement for marketing or solicitation purposes. The Fund will take such steps as are reasonably necessary to ensure compliance with this obligation. The Fund shall indemnify and hold the Intermediaries, individually and collectively, (and any of their respective directors, officers, employees, or agents) harmless from any damages, loss, cost, or liability (including reasonable legal fees and the cost of enforcing this indemnity) arising out of or resulting from any unauthorized use of or disclosure by the Fund of the information received from the Intermediaries pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, because an award of money damages (whether pursuant to the foregoing sentence or otherwise) may be inadequate for any breach of this provision and any such breach may cause the Intermediaries irreparable harm, the Fund also agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this provision, the Intermediaries will also be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance. Such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for any breach of this provision but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity to the Intermediaries. In the event that the Fund is required by legal process, law, or regulation to disclose any information received from the Intermediaries pursuant to this Agreement, the Fund shall provide Intermediaries with prompt written notice of such requirement as far in advance of the proposed disclosure as possible so that the Intermediaries (at their expense) may either seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy which is necessary to protect their interests or waive compliance with this provision to the extent necessary.
Prohibition on Dividends Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, no subsidiary of the Company is currently prohibited, directly or indirectly, under any order of any Regulatory Agency (other than orders applicable to bank or savings and loan holding companies and their subsidiaries generally), under any applicable law, or under any agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or is subject, from paying any dividends to the Company, from making any other distribution on such subsidiary’s capital stock, from repaying to the Company or any other subsidiary of the Company any loans or advances to such subsidiary or from transferring any of such subsidiary’s properties, assets or operations to the Company or any other subsidiary of the Company.
